Frequently Asked Questions

What is a URL slug?

The part of a URL that identifies a specific page in readable terms, like 'blog-post-title' in a URL.

Why use hyphens instead of spaces?

Spaces aren't URL-safe, and hyphens are the standard convention for word separation in slugs (preferred over underscores for SEO).

Are slugs always lowercase?

This is the common convention, since URLs are technically case-sensitive and lowercase avoids confusion.

What happens to special characters?

They're typically removed or replaced, since only certain characters are considered URL-safe.

Is my data saved?

No, all processing happens locally in your browser.

Is this useful for blog post URLs?

Yes, this is one of the most common practical uses for slug generation.

Does this work for any language?

Basic Latin-alphabet text works well - special handling may be needed for other character sets.

Is this tool free?

Yes, completely free with no sign-up required.

Do slugs affect SEO?

Yes, clean, descriptive slugs are generally considered a positive SEO practice, helping both users and search engines understand page content.
